Some of you may remember a post I submitted about a year ago explaining how I recklessly parked my Mavic Zoom 2 about 80' high in a Pine tree while on vacation in Maine. I recently got a call from the property owner who explained that she finally fell down and wanted to come home. Once I received her I realized three of the props were damaged and there was something loose rattling around inside.
After locating a "how to" video on YouTube I opened her up to find a nest of ants and the IMU rubber mounts were broken off, hence the rattle. I evicted the ants, ordered and installed a new IMU, charged the original battery and upgraded the firmware. She's now back in the air flying with the precission and grace as when she was new. Not showing any signs of disfuntion or anger towards me for making her spend a long cold winter in Maine.
Actually, I am very impressed with the quality of DJI's Mavic Zoom. She hit that pine tree going close to fifty and didn't brake any vital parts. Anyway, I'm happy to have her back and working.
